no, machine works with most ALL flours! trick is to measure carefully! water amnmt. is critical, but you will learn fast.

No, we use it for all manner of pasta but I must say it doesn't work well. The consistency of the dough needs to be JUST RIGHT or the mechanism jams and shuts off. We used it three times and now it's sitting in the back of a hard to reach cabinet. Just too much of a pain to use.

NO! The mesh holes of the basket are way too big for spaghetti. You might be able to use it for Rigatoni or other large pasta shapes, but not long, thin noodles. For reference, the holes in the mesh are approximately 1cm wide, and a spaghetti noodle is probably only 2mm wide.

There is another attachment called the "extruder" for pasta types like Penne, hollow spaghetti, etc. with that you are complete for almost all types of pasta. Have fun.

Yes, my spouse has made pasta with it an it seems to work fine. She had to improvise as there were no directions with it.

Honestly, I am not certain. I use this flat bread maker specifically to make Gluten Free flat breads and it does an excellent job!

There is not a setting actually labeled for gluten free. However, when you're making specific recipes such as that, the recipe itself will note what settings are best.

I don't find any mention of pasta dough. Here is quote on DOUGH from the manual: Use to prepare dough for making bread, rolls or pizza which are shaped and allowed to rise before baking in a conventional oven. This setting blends and kneads the dough and takes it through the first rise. And, yes, it does a fine job of making bread.

yes, but I prefer to use if for making pizza dough or home made pasta noodles

Yes! I use it all the time in place of cornstarch and flour. You just need to mix it with a liquid before you add it, just like you do with cornstarch. It's perfect for someone on a gluten free diet. I'm not sure about how much to use when using it as a substitute, I haven't quite figured that out yet.

Yes, I only use it for gluten free breads and have had great results. I haven't tried cakes yet.

Well, I am gluten free, so only do those types of flours. It does those well. I believe it would be the same with gluten type flours. I really love this machine. But, you need to take a spatula occasionally and scrape the bottom of the bowl where the mixers do not go down far enough.

I love mine and yes it is only used for gluten free bread. Although I have not perfected my own bread mix recipe. The premixed boxed breads, such as glutino sandwich bread, turns out perfect and delicious. There is nothin better than fresh baked warm bread. Well worth the money.

I have not tried gluten free, so can't comment on that part. Yes you can press dough into the form, you do not need to use the cutter.

It can be... Google it. You can do anything with it and it is gluten free��

I can't say positively as we have never had reason to try gluten free............but I cannot imagine why not if you measure all your ingredients accurately. All the machine does is take the "work" out of making bread..............hope this helped. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.........

No, is my experience. I have used it (and this is by far and away the best ready-made flour to approximate gluten-ful) on the dough cycle to mix and knead, but as with all gluten-free recipes, letting the mixture sit over night before baking is key to a decent result. The mixture will still be soupy and I use loaf pans to bake it. The gluten-free websites are now many, and they can help.

Well--the noodles are made of wheat flour, and that is all it says---nothing about being gluten free.
